Henry is a thirteen-year-old boy from rural Georgia, and this book chronicles his life during the rebuilding process after the Great Depression. Henry loves God, his family, and baseball. He works on his farm with his family and left school in the fifth grade to help out. He is the oldest of five children. Henry's parents, the Robinsons are both God-fearing people and have instilled faith over fear in their children. Henry has big dreams of playing in the big leagues of baseball but life sometimes gets in the way. He will go through a lot, along with ups and downs with his family members, but getting to the big league is going to take a lot of practice, tons of patience, an abundance of work, and most of all...faith. God has a plan for Henry, but does that plan involve him playing in the big league?
